The 44-year-old will surely have his own ideas on how to do that, with recruitment set to be a major factor as Liverpool aim to keep the squad fresh.
Liverpool have chosen to invest heavily in South American forwards since Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino departed, spending £37m on Luis Diaz while also splashing £64m on Darwin Nunez.
Alexis Mac Allister is another South American who has recently arrived at Anfield.
Now – if reports are true – Michael Edwards could bring another to Liverpool…
Michael Edwards wants £40m Brazilian at Liverpool
Well – according to the Daily Mail – Liverpool now want to sign Luis Guilherme.
It is said that Liverpool are closely monitoring the Palmeiras No.31 – who can play on either wing or centrally in the No.10 role.

Palmeiras will demand £40m for Guilherme this summer – the Brazilian giants have little need for cash after selling Endrick to Real Madrid for a whopping £60m.
The Brasileiro Série A have also produced Gabriel Jesus in the past – they clearly know how to develop a forward, which bodes well for Guilherme’s career.
Who is Luis Guilherme?
Well – if Liverpool do sign Guilherme – some may not expect him to go straight into the senior side, given the fact he is just 18 years of age.
However, the teenager certainly has the pace to cause defenders problems in the Premier League – the Brazil U20 international is actually quicker than Erling Haaland.

Guilherme recorded a top speed of 36.4 km/h during the Copa do Brasil U17 final against Vasco da Gama back in 2022 – according to The Beautiful Game.
As detailed by SpeedsDB, Haaland’s quickest speed is 36.2 km/h – meaning the Liverpool target is faster than one of Europe’s most ruthlessly quick strikers.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Edwards continues to monitor Guilherme.
